Drake wins Best Rap Album for “Take Care” at the Grammy Awards

Toronto’s very own Drake had the odds stacked against him when he went into today’s 55th annual Grammy Awards celebration, but was finally recognized for his music with a win for Best Rap Album for “Take Care” during the pre-telecast.

The 26-year-old rapper was also nominated for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song, but lost to Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “N****s In Paris” in both categories.

Drake triumphed over Lupe Fiasco’s “Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album, Pt. 1,” The Roots’ “Undun,” Rick Ross’ “God Forgives, I Don't,” 2 Chainz’s “Based On A T.R.U. Story” and Nas’ “Life Is Good” for the Best Rap Album award.
